Illocska (German: Illutsch, Serbo-Croatian: Илочац, Iločac[1]) is a village in Baranya county, Hungary. Residents are Magyars, with a minority of Serbs and Danube Swabians.
History
[edit]Until the end of World War II, the majority of the inhabitants were Roman Catholic Danube Swabians (Schwowe), their ancestors arrived in 1790 from Nagyszékely and Gyönk villages to Illocska.[2] Most of the former German settlers were expelled to allied-occupied Germany and allied-occupied Austria in 1946–1948, following the Potsdam Agreement.[3] Only a few Germans of Hungary live there, the majority today are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange. They got the houses of the former Danube Swabian Inhabitants.
